Sanju Samson comes in for Abhishek Sharma and Mohammed Siraj makes way for Jasprit Bumrah.

Namibia have won the toss and have decided to bowl first at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Both India and Namibia captains are on the ground for the toss.

Abhishek Sharma has arrived at the venue but hasn't taken part in the pre-match drills and practice sessions. Sanju Samson time??

The Men In Blue have now gone on to win 9 consecutive matches in the T20 World Cup and this is the longest streak in the history of the tournament.

The toss will take place at 6:30 PM IST.

Jasprit Bumrah is certain to return to the team but who will replace him? Mohammed Siraj bowled brilliantly against the USA, while Arshdeep Singh remains one of the most sought-after bowlers in T20Is.

In another game, Italy have thrashed Nepal by 10 wickets to secure their maiden T20 World Cup victory.

“If you prioritise team goals ahead of personal milestones, more often than not, I feel the team will be in a dominant position. Only we can stop ourselves from overanalysing or slipping into a negative mindset, but I believe this team is fully prepared for the T20 World Cup. I don't see any reason why we can't go all the way.”

A match against Namibia could be the perfect opportunity to bring in Kuldeep Yadav. The left-arm spinner is well versed with the Arun Jaitley Stadium territory and is aware of every crack and every blade of grass.

India's current NRR is 1.450 and they will use this match to ramp up their run rate in order to bosst confidence ahead of the Pakistan clash.

“We haven't got any lights in Namibia. Infrastructure-wise, it's probably the challenge for us. So yeah, it's not a casual thing. Barring the guys who have played in the Nepal Premier League, ILT20 and the World Cups we have played, you don't get accustomed to lights and train under it very often.”

Sanju Samson is waiting in the wings and the CSK star will have to capitalise if he gets a chance to prove his worth.

After missing out on the first match, Jasprit Bumrah is all set to return against Namibia.

Abhishek Sharma had a stomach bug and had to be hospitalised. But the swashbuckling Indian opener left the hospital and a call will be taken on his availability before the match.
